Cordova Audio Controller Plugin

Thanks

This plugin is partly inspired by https://github.com/homerours/cordova-music-controls-plugin repository. It is not updated on NPM anymore so I took the liberty to rewrite objective C code and push it with a different name.

Major diffferences

• Removed the listen() method (it is now automatic)
• Fixed a lot of bugs on IOS
• Added a Audio interruption event on IOS
• Removed the updateIsPlaying method and destroy on IOS (for now)

Music controls for Cordova applications. Display a 'media' notification with play/pause, previous, next buttons, allowing the user to control the play. Handle also headset event (plug, unplug, headset button).

Supported platforms

• Android (4.1+)
• iOS 8+

Installation

cordova plugin add https://github.com/bhvr-business-solutions/cordova-plugin-audiocontroller

Methods

• Replace the media controls:

AudioController.setControls({
    	track       : 'Time is Running Out',		// optional, default : ''
	artist      : 'Muse',						// optional, default : ''
    	cover       : 'albums/absolution.jpg',		// optional, default : nothing
	// cover can be a local path (use fullpath 'file:///storage/emulated/...', or only 'my_image.jpg' if my_image.jpg is in the www folder of your app)
	//			 or a remote url ('http://...', 'https://...', 'ftp://...')
	isPlaying   : true,							// optional, default : true

	// hide previous/next/close buttons:
	hasPrev   : true,		// show previous button, optional, default: true
	hasNext   : true,		// show next button, optional, default: true
    	album       : 'Absolution',     // optional, default: ''
    
    
    	// iOS only, optional
	album       : 'Absolution',     // optional, default: ''
	duration : 60, // optional, default: 0
	elapsed : 10, // optional, default: 0
  	hasSkipForward : true, //optional, default: false. true value overrides hasNext.
  	hasSkipBackward : true, //optional, default: false. true value overrides hasPrev.
  	skipForwardInterval : 15, //optional. default: 0.
	skipBackwardInterval : 15, //optional. default: 0.
	hasScrubbing : false, //optional. default to false. Enable scrubbing from control center progress bar 

	// Android only, optional
	// text displayed in the status bar when the notification (and the ticker) are updated
	ticker	  : 'Now playing "Time is Running Out"',
	//All icons default to their built-in android equivalents
	//The supplied drawable name, e.g. 'media_play', is the name of a drawable found under android/res/drawable* folders

	nextIcon: 'media_next',

• Subscribe events to the media controller:

// Register callback
AudioController.subscribe(function(eventName) {
    
});
